Relationships between countries, anyone interested? Hooking each other up on exclusives

I have been trolling these forums for awhile now, and I know a few trustworthy Californian collectors who have helped me obtain a few nice pieces.
Not to mention I completed several trades on carbombya with great people.

I know this might be a bit in the gray area, since Ryan decides to shut down carbombya.

BUT I still feel like asking the following question.

Are there any Japan or U.K. residents that are toyhunters and basically gets their hands on all the exclusives in their countries; interested in hooking each other up?

I know, I can get my hands on any American exclusives at Target, Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco, and Best Buys.

If you are a serious hunter in your country and want to help each other out in our respected country's exclusives please give me a PM if siebertron/Ryan don't mind.

I was wondering if we can set up a international sightings or relations? Perhaps have the requirement be you have to have a good standing in Siebertron based on your past carbombya feedback / # of posts?

I am just tired of paying out of my butt for exclusives from different countries on evilbay...

Firstly, what bloody exclusives do the UK get!?! Hasbro has all but abandoned the UK :P No way are we getting anything that isn't already released in the US.
Secondly, Ryan closed the trading forum for a reason. I think it will be a while before an alternative is introduced.

Don't recall that at all, hated the Energon line :P
But I do see what you mean, I had no problem getting 08BB or Arcee. Never been to the states, I've not seen first-hand what the TF quantity's are like so I can't compare. I just assumed they were similar.
